Answer 1

The title of the presiding officer of the House of Representatives is Speaker of the United States House of Representatives.

The Speaker usually does not preside over the debates personally, instead delegating this function to another member of the majority party's chamber. In addition to presiding over the chamber, the Speaker has administrative and procedural functions, and remains a Representative of his own district.

The Speaker occupies the second place in the line of presidential succession, after the vice presidency of the United States, which also assumes ex officio the Presidency Pro Tempore of the Senate. It is a charge similar to the election of a prime minister in a parliamentary regime.
